MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and the turntable support seated and in place.
The turntable must be unrestricted so it can rotate.
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic
sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable for microwaving. "
If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish
you are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with 1 cup
cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 30–45 seconds at
high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats,
then the dish is microwave-safe.
Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should not be
used in a microwave oven because they increase the risk of
electric shock and could cause a fire.
Sometimes the oven floor, turntable and walls can become
too hot to touch. Be careful touching the floor, turntable and
walls during and after cooking.
Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels,
napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which
may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon
or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.
Some foam trays (like those that meat is packaged on)
have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When
microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or
ignite a paper towel.
Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use.
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used
to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent
spattering while microwaving. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so
steam can escape.
Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the
cookware.

safe dish.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When microwaving "boilable" cooking pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags, they should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during
or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury.
Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially
uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking
with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and
face.
Use foil only as directed in this manual. When using foil in the
microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1" away from the sides
of the oven.
cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften
or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could
ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1 Use microwave-safe plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer's recommendations.
2
Do not microwave empty containers.
3
Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without
complete supervision.
